A judge in Santa Clara County Superior Court in San Jose this
afternoon sentenced San Francisco 49ers player Aldon Smith to 11 days to be
served in a work program for his conviction on three felony assault weapons
and two misdemeanor DUI charges.

Judge Daniel Nishigaya, in a hearing crowded with news media,
imposed the sentence on the 24-year-old Smith, who pleaded no contest on May
21 to charges of possessing three assault rifles in 2012 and driving while
over the legal limit for alcohol last year.

Smith had faced a maximum sentence of four years and four months
in prison on the charges, according to the District Attorney's Office.

He was sentenced to three years' probation for the DUI charges in
addition to the 11 days in the work program in lieu of jail time.

Prosecutors did not make a deal with Smith to plead to reduced or
fewer charges, but Smith did agree in May to change his previous not guilty
pleas to the felony and misdemeanor charges to no contest, according to Santa
Clara County Deputy District Attorney Brian Buckelew said.

Smith decided not to contest charges he possessed three assault
rifles, a .308 caliber Armalite AR10-T, Bushmaster ARC for 5.56mm bullets and
a .223 caliber Bushmaster Carbon-15 in his rented home in an unincorporated
area outside of San Jose in 2012, prosecutors said.

In the DUI case, Smith was arrested last Sept. 20 on suspicion of
DUI and marijuana possession after he drove his car into the front lawn of a
suburban home in San Jose and crashed his car into a tree.

Smith, who was not injured, was released after posting bail.
Prosecutors did not filed charges related to the marijuana.

He then entered a rehabilitation program for alcohol abuse, was
placed on the nonfootball injury list by the 49ers and missed five games
after his DUI arrest.

On Oct. 9, he turned himself in at the sheriff's office in
response to a warrant for his arrest on the assault rifle charges. He was
released on $75,000 bail. The 49ers activated him to resume playing in the
2013 season two days later.

In 2012, sheriff's deputies seized Smith's three rifles -- which
Smith bought in 2011 in Arizona, but are illegal in California -- as part of
an investigation into an unruly party at his home where gang members showed
up and two guests were shot and wounded.

Deputies also recovered large-capacity magazines of bullets on the
floor of Smith's bedroom and other live and expended bullets of various
calibers in his bedside table.

During the 2012 party, someone fired a shot into Smith's garage
and then Smith himself fired two shots from a .45 caliber handgun into the
air to disperse the crowd of hundreds of people outside.

Also attending the party were 49ers player Chris Culliver and
former team player Delanie Walker, who also fired a gun into the air in an
attempt to encourage the crowd to leave.

At one point, while Smith stood in his driveway to tell the crowd
to leave, Steven Raymond Barba, 28, an alleged member of the Norteno criminal
street gang, came forward and stabbed Smith in the chest.

The wound to the muscular 49ers linebacker was only superficial
and Smith was not badly hurt.

On Monday, Barba, who was convicted last month of assault with a
deadly weapon in Smith's stabbing and unrelated gun charges, was sentenced to
three years of parole after serving about 560 days in county jail and
receiving enough credit to quality for parole, prosecutors said.
